Not bad! What rpm were you launching at? Was it bogging badly? Post up a time slip. Glad you had fun, that is what it is all about.

So no exhaust, or intake mods? Stock ignition system, Stock suspension, stock chassis, stock air horn, paper filter, short belt, etc? No added, or removed parts what so ever?

There's stock....and then there's stock-ish.

The gears alone have already taken if from stock, to stock-ish, but I'd be curious to see if the rest is as it came from the factory?

Lol....I wasn't trying to pee in your cornflakes. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page when throwing the word "stock" into the mix.

I can change the thread title if you wish through.

As for the pics....I'm really not sure how to upload them from a phone?

Good runs in any case.

Faster than my car ever went at the track .

It was a 14 sec killer last time it saw the track, it was slow but man that was a good time.

Nice work indeed.

To upload from your phone scroll down to the bottom of this page where you post reply. Next to that you'll see a "upload file". Tap that. It will prompt you from there.

Glad we could humor you. You've quickly learned that we are easily amused.

That is all
